CINcINNATI Dec. 16.-Two handsomely
dressed women, wearing sealskin cloaks and
costly diamonds, were arrested last night at the
Central Passenger Depot, charged with stealing
tray full of gold chains from a leading jewelry
store. They gave the names of Lizzie Mcclure
and Mary Smith; said their home was Trenton,
n. j., and that their husbands were actors.
The stolen property WAS not found on them
The only evidence against them is that they
were identified by two of the statesmen as hav-
ing been in the store in the forenoon to buy
goods. Going out one of them engaged the
clerk while the other had an opportunity to slip
the chains from which had been care
iessly left open by some employe.

BRooKLYN's STRIKE ALL OVER.
The Elevated Road Engineers Say The!
Were Defeated by the knights.

BROOKLYN, July l9.-The strike on the
Brooklyn elevated railroad was formally
declared at an end yesterday. The com
pany had all their engines manned, and
trains we're run on sufficient headway to
accommodate the greater part of the pa
irons of the road. The locked-out engi-
neers and firemen received their pay and
started out to look for employment else
where. II was said that twelve of them
earnestly requested Col. Martin TO take
them back, and that they were told that
they should have the preference whenever
vacancy occurred. .
At the strikers headquarters in East
New York il was admitted that the com
pany had scored decisive victory, but it
was said that the result would have been
different had it not been for the ae-
tive hostility of the Knights of Labor.
Chairman Wright still maintained that the
strike was a just one, and he denied that
twelve of the strikers had asked to be
taken back. He was confident that only
one man had proved disloyal. He said
that five engines had been burned out
and eleven cars badly damaged.

The Typical Scab.

A few weeks ago the pro-poverty press
made great ado over the refusal of the
painters union of New York to admit a
man named Lang to membership. The
ground of objection was Lang's bad char
acter. Hewitt, a savior of society. with
more of hatred for the union than of
love for Lang, thereupon procured him a
position in private house, where he
promptly organized himself into an anti
poverty society of one, and proceeded to
abolishing his own poverty by impover-
ishing his employer. He tripped up how
ever. in one of the essentials of the lone
hand anti-poverty society by being found
out and now he is in Sing Sing.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
1t is being agitated here to get you
10 ''rouse" this section. shaking up is
needed, Thorough education is our only
chance for unity and strength, else we
will become the victim of designing men
who seek selfish advantages which means
continued corruption of government
oppression and robbery of the masses.
Thorough education, full knowledge Of
the injustice of the present social system
and the great possibilities of the new
social state is our only safety against the
enemy within and outside our ranks;
To establish an industrial or co-opera-
tive commonwealth is. as un6 erstand it,
the great object of our organization.
Such also as l understand is the great OBJ
ject of Socialism. Why difference in
name should cause our prominent ones to
denounce each other is an evidence of in
sincerity or weakness. Why flags, rags
of different colors, "relics of barbarism," "
which led the poor victims of power, of
greed, of falsehood to destroy each other
should now be Haunted by us certainly
shows weakness. Away with all formali-
ties and outward signs, we need them not
in this struggle. We want justice in its
true colors to unfold itself within the
realm of thought, and from that impreg-
nable fort to inspire and lead to victory
in the cause of humanity and of God. the
noblest men, the noblest army that ever
trod the earth. Yours fraternally,

Everyday there Is some new invention
10 machinery that tends tn lessen human
labor, and necessarily under the present
system it throws many wage-workers out
out of employment. Do the mechanics
realize, | wonder, that their earning their
honest bread is only matter of time.
This Is. the age of progress and smashing
up the machines ms they did once in Eng
land Is thought of no longer.
No; either the capitalists will keep on
getting richer, and there will be more men
starving in the cutters, more broken
hearted women selling their poor bodies
Tor bread more children dying OF want
and woe and wretchedness in the slums. or
the men who are the majority, the useful
members Of society, the men who do the
work. will take the machines into their
own hands and by so doing will lesson
their hours of labor and increase their
means OF living. II not, let them be
slaves. Let the millions stand in maudlin
inbecility viewing one man with ma
chine taking all their work, even their
very lives from them.
They can't growl At him because he
won't be working them TO death-long
hours and short pay-he will not have any
use for them. he will have the machine.

Alone In the heart o, the great, busy mart,
That hlls every crossing and rack.
I'm only an ace In the vast human race,
Pushed forward, then rudely swept back
Indeed, | seem dumb In the noisy hum-drum
That ebbs through the broad thoroughfare;
And often recoil from such terrible broil,
Or a naughty and impudent stare.
High mounted In the air their noses they wear
Looking not TO the right or the left;
To pass you, indeed. is Just TO proceed
quite unconscious Of all except self.
Like compass afar without needle or star,
They silently float out TO sea;
They heed not advice, no matter how nice,
Nor the vessel containing poor me.
Like foam iiecks they pass leaving others alas!
As they hastily whirl out of sight,
To follow the tide of their terrible pride,
Or cling to old common sense Right.
They remind me OF specks, that vanity decks
ofdirt, just the dlrtiest kind.
Who follow the lead of Dame Fashion instead
OF Him OF lovelier mind.
